This shoe is so comfortable, I bought two pairs. I was told I needed surgery by a podiatrist but after getting these shoes, my 25 year foot problem is no longer a problem. I had bunions and was preparing to schedule surgery but my foot pain is gone, so the cost of these shoes is worth it.

great for women with big wide feet. comfy and a lot of cushion, feels like walking on air and i didn't even need to buy inserts! this is by far my favorite shoe! I have arthritis and it helps my knees, back and toes to wear these. Keep these shoes in stock! I sized up 1 whole size as you recommended and they are perfect!! Well worth the $

I've worn new balance for running,basketball,and all around training for years.I have always told my wife these shoes are the best because of their many width sizes,styles,and their good foot support.She asked me recently if i would find a good shoe for her to use at the gym ,since i seemed to be so fussy about good foot health. Long story short, SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THEM.SHE SAYS THEY ARE LIGHT ,COMFORTABLE AND VERY SUPPORTIVE WITH HER NARROW HEEL.She now knows why i chose new balance all these years for myself

I have been debating these shoes for the past year. I am a serious runner and wanted something to knock around in that was comfortable, but looked a little better than my running shoes. I have been really happy with these shoes, they are comfortable, look great with jeans/pants, wear well, etc. I could run in them if I had to, but that wasn't the purpose I intended them for. I just ordered a pair for my husband...we both love them.

When I was a teenager, I always used to go with the name brands that were "cool" and every shoe I got hurt my arches. I gave up in my early 20's and just began purchasing the running shoes I could get at [...] for cheap since college students can't afford multiple pairs of sneakers that don't fit.This year, I decided to indulge myself and get something that was HOPEFULLY worth the money. With the fit guarantee, I figured there wasn't much to lose except for the price of return shipping. Until these shoes, I always had to "break in" my sneakers and deal with foot pain or blisters or what not. NOT WITH THESE. These were perfect right out of the box for the 4 miles I ran on the treadmill.I also have really unstable knees due to my ligament structure, and have dealt with recurring knee pain with past shoes. I've been using these shoes for 2 months now without any issue. I'm going to be ordering my second pair very soon just for a back up. Thank you Roadrunner Sports!

As an older runner with concerns to balance the need for managing impact forces with a lightweight shoe, the New Balance 993 is 'always there' for me, like a trusty old horse. It works hard, provides reliable cushioning and delivers enjoyable workouts. And once it's time to put out to pasture from running, it continues to be a companionable walking shoe.

As a soldier in the U.S. Army I average about 20-30miles a week in unit runs as well as running on my own. I never ran before I joined the Army but alas its a way of life for soldiers. I have had these New Balance 993 now for a few weeks and tried them out the day they arrived for a 5 mile run and loved them! They felt perfect and were lightweight and after a 5mile run it felt as if I'd been running in them for months. They are definately perfect for me. I recommend them to any moderate to avid runner.

I have been wearing some version of this running shoe for over 10 years. I buy a new pair once a year. I wear them everyday except in the snow. Best running shoe ever. I have flat, problem feet, and these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

These running shoes are deep enough to accept orthotics. They are extremely comfortable and well made for both running and casual wear. They are heavier than many shoes probably not for light weights. You won't feel the road in these shoes.

Reading the reviews, I decided to give 'em a shot, as I had an upcoming marathon and was in need of a new pair -- fully aware of the risk I was taking.... Ran the San Diego marathon, virtually right out of the box, finishing it without a single blister! No break-in time needed!

Shoes feel a half- to full-size too big, like the reviews mention, but perhaps that's for the better, as I didn't have black toenails at the end of the race, unlike after a previous marathon, two months prior, in a different pair of NB running shoes. Tied tightly, no sliding; feel snug on the sides and provide nice arch support for my average arch.

My favorite feature is the lifted backs of the sneaker. I havent seen any other shoe do that while still maintaining the integrity of being a "work out shoe". But when your 5'2, you appreciate little things like that.

Love this shoe so much -- just ordered another pair. However, I think it runs a little big. I normally get a size 7 running shoe which is about a full size bigger than my normal street shoes but in this shoe I am a size 6. I actually got a 6.5 to be safe but it's too big and my feet are swimming but it's a great looking shoe, comfortable and lightweight. I wear it mostly for walking and in the gym so not sure about it if you are running a lot of miles.....

With plantar fasciitis and a bad knee, the 992 was perfect and so is the 993. The 993 is lighter and I do feel that the cushioning is where they cut the weight. Still a good shoe. True to size. I will buy them again.

had no problems with the support of this show but twice the tongue of the shoe separated from the upper-completely! RRS replaced them the first time but this is obviously a design flaw and I will not be getting another pair.

I love the New Balance brand. They feel comfortable from the very first wearing and never need to be broken in. The shoelaces on this pair stay tied (the round gray shoelaces on previous styles had to be double-tied to prevent them from slipping untied)

Shoe Dog: Hello, hello, hello! (honks horn) You?re listening to KDOG in the morning, the number one (and the only) morning radio show in the country all about shoes! I have a great surprise for you listeners today. In my studio is the King of shoes, the emperor of the Stability Plus category; he?s been doing this running thing since I was a pup and he?s still going strong. Ladies and gentlemen, the New Balance 993 is in the studioooo (hits fake applause button)! Where are my dog callers at? Give us a ring and tell us what you think. Tony from New Jersey, you?re on the air with Shoe Dog.Tony: Hey Shoe Dog. I?ve had the 990 series for years now and I love the cushioning. What makes them so good?Shoe Dog: Thanks Tony. There are a lot of reasons why the 993 feels so good, but it?s mostly because of the Absorb SBS. That?s a foam that?ll give you great shock absorption and gives you that fantastic cushioned feeling. Plus, the shoe uses Acteva, (act-tee-va) a midsole cushioning that?s 12% lighter than standard foam. Thanks for your call. Christine from California, you?re on with the 993 and Shoe Dog.Christine: Hey guys, I love the show, and I love the 993! I don?t run, but I still use this shoe everyday. They?re super comfortable and it?s great that it comes in widths, too!Shoe Dog: That?s great to hear Christine! This running shoe is great for everyday use, as well as walking and working out in the gym (honks horn). And you?re right, the 993 comes in a narrow width, that?s 2A for women, and B for men and a wide width which is D for women and 2E for men. There?s even an extra wide 4E width for men. Thanks for your call. Keep ?em coming dog callers! Tom from Arizona, you?re on with Shoe Dog and the New Balance 993.Tom: The 993?s are a little heavy, but my wife and I both love them. She has the pink version, and she just ran the Race for the Cure in them. They?re just great shoes.Shoe Dog: Fantastic Tom. You?re right, these are on the heavier side for a running shoe, but that?s really just because they?re loaded with plush cushioning and a tough carbon rubber outsole for maximum durability. Remember, at Road Runner Sports, you get the ULTIMATE TEST RUN 90-Day Wear 'em & Love 'em Guarantee! (Over SOAP) Thank you 993 for being here today. What?s that? I can?t really hear you, can you try talking into the microphone? You may be a great running shoe, 993, but you are a horrible radio talk shoe guest. Who decided to book a shoe as a guest? Anyone? Oh, it was the Felix? I?m telling you; never trust a cat as your producer. A big thanks to all my dog callers out there! I?m Shoe Dog, and I am outta here!

I do like new balance shoes and this one is very comfortable! I wear 9.5B and it fits just fine, I don't know why it says to go up on the size? You won't be unhappy with this shoe.

love these Nb993 went from 991 to the 993 and was a bit worried but these in my opinion are way better than the 991 and lighter too. I stand all day long and these keep my back and legs from hurting like they used to. Love them... did order 1/2 size up from my normal size and they fit great.

Fitted with the 991 years ago and enjoyed the 992 with orthotics for plantar fascitis. Have worn the 993 for 2 months and pain has returned, unstable shoe and toe box has become misshapen. VERY DISSATISFIED with the 993.

The 992 fit me perfectly. Now I am in between sizes and because they changed the toe box I am forced to wear the bigger size. I am running in clown shoes until I find something else :(

I was hopeful this shoe would be similar to the 991. Wrong! There is no cushioning and it felt clunky. The 991 fit like a glove and the cushioning was great. I guess we 991 fans will have to keep waiting.
